About

Hoping that Google cannot answer all questions, OHT explores reality and its representation without formal, disciplinary and emotional limitations.

Established in 2008 by Filippo Andreatta, OHT has achieved national and international collaborations such as Haydn Foundation, NYC Artists’ Salon (USA), Roma Europa festival, CRT Teatro dell’Arte Triennale Milan (IT), the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation (USA), Whitechapel Gallery London (UK), Teatro della Tosse Genova, Italian Cultural Institute of Vienna (AT), MAXXI museum of the arts of the XXI century Rome (IT), among the others. Finally, Centrale Fies and MART Museum of modern and contemporary art, have frequently been partners of various projects, either for productions or for premieres.

OHT has been honoured with awards for artistic excellence, including Nuove Sensibilità for young theatre directors (2008), Movin’Up award for young artists (2016 and 2017), OPER.A 20.21 Fringe (2017) and nominated for Best Set-Design at UBU prize (2018).
